A group of guys from among the many in the relational Colorado House Church Network discussing the idea that mission is a byproduct of listening. The discussion focused in on the idea that everyone has a mission or calling, but that it must be discovered by listening to God and then acting on what He says. Additionally, the myth that foreign missions are superior to those callings lived out on home soil is discussed and the idea that all mission that flows from listening is equal and powerful.

A GREAT story/testimony of mission (evangelism) flowing out of daily listening together to God among the members of a house church family. This church family in the Littleton, CO area of Denver explain how they heard the Lord speaking to them to bless a family most of them had never met during Christmastime last month, and the wonderful result! Keep your volume high – parts get a bit quiet.

As they shared, a picture began to emerge like the pieces of a puzzle coming together. Read the rest of this entry »
